Assuming you can guarantee that there will always be at least two spaces
between the text and the digits, could you do something like the following?
<fo:block white-space-collapse="false" linefeed-treatment="preserve"
text-align-last="justify" >
<xsl:text>
</xsl:text>
<xsl:call-template name="split">
<xsl:with-param name="string" select="euro-tax-msg5" />
</xsl:call-template>
<xsl:text>
</xsl:text>
<xsl:call-template name="split">
<xsl:with-param name="string" select="euro-tax-msg6" />
</xsl:call-template>
<xsl:text>
</xsl:text>
</fo:block>
<xsl:template name="split">
<xsl:param name="string" />
<xsl:variable name="first" select="substring-before($string,' ')" />
<xsl:variable name="rest" select="substring-after($string,' ')" />
<xsl:value-of select="$first" /><fo:leader/><xsl:value-of select="$rest" />
</xsl:template>

Friends,
Existing Code in my XML file (the decimal points are aligned when using Courier
font):
<euro-tax-msg5>Quebec Native Seal Tax
15.42</euro-tax-msg5>
<euro-tax-msg6>BIG UPPER CASE TAX INO 439.59</euro-tax-msg6>
--------------------------
My XSL that prints (using Arial font):
<fo:block white-space-collapse="false" linefeed-treatment="preserve"
text-align="start" >
<xsl:text>
</xsl:text>
<xsl:value-of select="./euro-tax-msg5"/>
<xsl:text>
</xsl:text>
<xsl:value-of select="./euro-tax-msg6"/>
<xsl:text>
</xsl:text>
</fo:block>
-----------------------------
My Result:
Thelkj lk laksjf lkasjd flkajs flkj 15.42
Wakadf wlkej salksdjf HHHH 349.54
Without creating a table, is there a way to get the text to align left and the
digits to align right?
I thank you for any suggestions.
Jeff
